Assault with deadly weapon: Four men were near the intersection of Park and Sutter streets after having left a nearby liquor store at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when six or seven boys and girls approached them and assaulted the men using bricks. Two of the men suffered cuts, but all four were intoxicated and could not identify their attackers to police except that they wore white T-shirts and dark-colored pants.

Robbery: A 33-year-old woman was dropping off a friend about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Bianchi Road and West Lane when a man armed with a silver handgun approached her and demanded her keys and purse. The woman handed over the property. The robber threw the keys away from the car and left north on West Lane on a low-rider bicycle. He was described as a Latino man about 22 years old standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 145 pounds.

Robbery: A 30-year-old woman about 11 p.m. Tuesday had just arrived at her home in the 2500 block of Antoine Court and was unloading her vehicle when another vehicle arrived, a man got out and approached her and demanded her purse. The woman refused, so the man grabbed it. They struggled for a moment until the woman saw a long-barreled gun sitting on the front seat of the vehicle in which the man arrived. The man took cash from the purse and threw the purse back at her. She was not injured. He left in a burgundy 1996 GMC Suburban with a lift kit and with a license plate of 3PMM979.
